Distribution of cancer severity levels by Age:

This chart provides insight into how the severity of cancer (Low, Medium, High) is distributed across different ages in the dataset.

There is an increase in the trend between ages 35 and 40, it indicates that the percentage of patients within this age range is higher compared to other age groups, after normalizing to the scale of 0-50.

Death Rate Report

The death rate is based upon 100,000 people and is for 5 year(s). Rates are age-adjusted by 5-year age groups to the 2000 U.S. standard million population (the Healthy People 2020 goals are based on rates adjusted using different methods but the differences should be minimal).

Death rates calculated by the National Cancer Institute using SEER*Stat. Death rates are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (19 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85+). Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by NCI.

Visualization showing correlation matrix of risk factors:

In the context of cancer risk factors, the heatmap visualizes the correlation between various factors that could contribute to the development of cancer. Each row and column in the heatmap corresponds to a specific risk factor, and the intersection of the rows and columns contains the correlation coefficient between those factors.
For example, there's a strong positive correlation between smoking and lung disease, the corresponding square in the heatmap is dark and large.
Analyzing this heatmap helps researchers and healthcare professionals understand which risk factors tend to co-occur and how they might collectively contribute to cancer risk.

Distribution of Gender by Cancer Severity Levels:

The x-axis represents the severity level, and the y-axis represents the count of patients. The different colors in each bar represent the different genders (Male, Female).

The bar graph effectively communicates the distribution of patients across different severity levels based on gender. The visual representation allows for quick identification of patterns, highlighting variations in severity levels between Male and Female patients. Such insights can be instrumental in tailoring healthcare strategies and interventions based on gender-specific considerations.

Incidence Rate Report

The incidence rate is based on 100,000 people and is an annual rate (or average annual rate) based on the period indicated. Rates are age-adjusted by 5-year age groups to the 2000 U.S. standard million population.

Recent Trends - This is an interpretation of the AAPC/APC:

Rising when 95% confidence interval of AAPC/APC is above 0.
Stable when 95% confidence interval of AAPC/APC includes 0.
Falling when 95% confidence interval of AAPC/APC is below 0.

States in the western region, such as California, Arizona, and Utah, exhibit relatively lower incidence rates when contrasted with those in the Mideastern and eastern regions of the United States.
